DVB-T/H modulator
 
         
  Full DVB-T/H modulator  
         
  The DVB-T/H modulator modules an MPEG-TS DVB-SPI input into a OFDM output in base band or Intermediate Frequency (IF).  
         
Description

The MVD DVB-T/H modulator is a drop-in module that includes the following functions :
  • Input data framer from Microprocessor, DVB-SPI source (MPEG-TS flow)
  • DVB-T modulator
    • Energy dispersal
    • Reed Solomon encoder
    • Convolutional interleaver
    • FEC convolution encoder
    • Inner interleaver
    • QPSK/QAM symbol mapper
    • Framer with pilots & TPS inserter
    • IFFT and guard interval insertion
  • Flexible Digital Up Converter
  • Modulator for FI output
  • Output for simple DAC (14 bits) or complex DAC (2x16bits)
  Features
  • ETSI, DVB-T/H (EN 300 744 V1.5.1) compliant baseband transmitter for Digital Terrestrial Television
  • Drop-in module for Virtex-5™, Virtex-4™ and Spartan™-3 FPGAs
  • Single clock (up to 140 MHz+ for Spartan-3™, 160 MHz+ for Virtex-4™ and 180 MHz+ for Virtex-5™)
  • Robust SPI input (discarding of incorrect input packets)
  • PCR re-stamping
  • Single channel, supports hierarchical transmission
  • Configurable Convolutional Rate
  • Configurable in-depth interleaving for DVB-H

  • Programmable Guard Interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32)
  • Supports variable channel width 5 to 8 MHz
  • Intermediate frequency output for single DAC (14 bits) or complex DAC (2 x 16 bits)
  • Full synthesizable RTL VHDL design (not delivered) for easy customization
  • Design delivered as Netlist
  • MER > 41dB
Applications

The MVD DVB-T/H modulator may be used in applications related to terrestrial transmission, typically at the head end.
